Abstract

This paper shows how familiar mathematical concepts from differential and integral calculus can be represented in the Z specification language. Digital computer systems involve hardware devices and software variables that can adopt a limited range of values only, and may be temporarily inaccessible or ill-defined. Emphasis is therefore given to supporting discrete range types and partial functions.
